I'm using using a Revanced patched version of RIF is Fun to access Reddit. I have a VPN with ad blockers running. The app doesn't have location permissions. I am getting ads for my city in it. The odd thing is that before the banning of 3rd party Reddit apps, I never got ads on RIF. I'm not only curious how they're finding my location, but if anyone is getting paid for these ads since RIF has officially shut down and it's only usable because of the Revanced patch.

I have posts that I'd like to remain visible and searchable for people needing help. In the last week I've gotten 2 questions about things I was helping someone with over a year ago. I would love to just sever all ties with Reddit, but that's not fair to the people looking for help.

Can you switch to viewing it by pc and an add blocker?

but that’s not fair to the people looking for help.

I completely understand the sentiment but that is what is holding you and the people you are helping there and the admins know and rely on this.

Can you let them know you are also here?
